The Fram museum (Frammuseet) is located at Bygdoy, a short
distance from the centre of Oslo and is easily reached by bus or, in the
summer season, by ferry from the City Hall quayside, other closest neighbours are the Kon-Tiki Museum and
the Norwegian Maritime Museum. The Viking Ship Museum and the Norwegian Folk
Museum are within 15 minutes walk. The Bygdoy peninsula is therefore popularly
known as the museum peninsula as I have indicated in my previous
Chapter#13&14, which is one of Oslo´s main places to go.
The Fram museum houses the world’s most famous polar ship, the Fram. A polar museum dedicated to the story of Norwegian polar expeditions with the Fram ship used by Fridtjof Nansen as the main exhibit. Both, Fram and Gjoa are the world's most famous polar exploration ships! 
The
Fram was the first ship specially built in Norway for polar research. She was
used on three important expeditions: with Fridtjof Nansen on a drift over the
Arctic Ocean 1893-96, with Otto Sverdrup to the arctic archipelago west of
Greenland – now the Nunavut region of Canada – 1898-1902, and with Roald
Amundsen to Antarctica for his South Pole expedition 1910-12. The Fram is now
housed and exhibited in the Fram Museum at Bygdoynes, Oslo.
Is was an amazing feeling to visit Fram, get on board and visualize yourself, journey to the world's coldest and most dangerous places. 
The Fram Museum contains exhibitions of
the most famous voyages of global historical significance. The centerpiece of
the museum is of course the world´s strongest wooden ship, the polar ship Fram.
The public can go on board and take a look around in her cabins, lounges, cargo hold and engine room.
Roald Amudsen, the greatest polar explorar, Amundsen was the first to
navigate the Northwest Passage, the first to reach the South Pole, a navigator
of the Northeast Passage, the first to fly to latitude 88⁰ N, and the first to fly across
the Arctic Ocean.
Such a long time had elapsed since the
Fram expedition started, that many had begun to believe that the whole expedition
had perished in the ice. There had, of course, been no possibilities for any
form of communication with the outside world since they became locked in the
ice.
Kitchen section of the vessel!
Their living room, imagine who were playing the piano?
"Victory awaits him,
who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is
definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions -bad
luck we call it" by Roald Amundsen
There are so many interesting section in the museum, northern lights were one of them.
